"In this remarkably well-researched work of historical detection, Luciano Garibaldi provides a description of the more noteworthy theories surrounding Mussolini's death. He centers on some very elusive material, focusing on the forensic aspects that contradict the time and place of death in the official version. No serious investigation by the Italian government or Italian justice was ever undertaken into the details of Mussolini's execution. Allied Military Government, the organization in charge of administering occupied Italy in 1945-1946, relied mostly on reports from the Italian Resistance. Apart from eyewitness accounts of the bodies hanging by the feet at the Piazzale Loreto by British and American officers, Allied forces in Italy initiated no official inquiry at the time."--Jacket.
